2020 Dental & Vision Open Enrollment

Great news! Our dental and vision insurance is renewing as-is, with no change in the rates or the benefits. Open enrollment is your opportunity to drop, add or change your current elections for dental and/or vision.

If you are interested in making a change to your current dental and/or vision election, please get in touch with Sarah ASAP.

As you know, we planned to be closed Friday, 4/10 in observance of Good Friday. In addition, we will be closed Thursday, 4/9 and Monday, 4/13 in order to give those of you that have been working a much needed break. Friday is a paid holiday, you can, but are not required to use vacation time for Thursday and/or Monday.

Pay checks (and direct deposit) will still be dated for Thursday, 4/9 - at this time the plan is to distribute them on Wednesday.

We appreciate your efforts through this incredibly challenging time. You already know that PRD is considered essential due to the manufacture of parts for both transportation and defense. But did you know a grommet we produce is being utilized in respirators in response to COVID-19? The work you are doing matters!

An office staff member was notified that she had direct contact with someone that tested positive for COVID-19. Her last contact with that person was Thursday, 3/26. She has not been tested and at this time she continues to be symptom-free.

The Health Dept advised her that she could report to work as long as she checked her temperature twice daily. In an abundance of caution, we have asked her to remain at home for the duration of her 14 day quarantine, which will expire at the end of the day 4/9.

Please continue to do your part and follow the recommended guidelines to help stop the spread of COVID-19.

Emergency Paid Sick Leave and Expanded FMLA provisions are not retroactive and became effective on 04/01/2020. The provisions generally apply to full-time and part-time PRD employees. These benefits are not automatic. If you think you are eligible, please follow the procedures below to apply.

According to the Lawrence County and Orange County Health Department, the previously reported confirmed case HAS NOT BEEN TESTED AND IS THEREFORE NOT CONFIRMED TO BE A POSITIVE. The employee may have been told they had symptoms of the virus and should presume to be positive; but, no test was completed and no result has been reported to either Health Dept. We are issuing this correction; because, what was reported to PRD at 4pm on 3/30/2020 was a confirmed positive – which was not accurate.

For everyone’s well-being we did confirm with the Health Dept that PRD is following the appropriate protocol to help keep everyone as safe as possible - including regularly scheduled deep cleaning and additional targeted deep cleaning in response to a confirmed case. We will continue to communicate information as it becomes available. And we continue to encourage you to make the decision that make sense for your situation.

The form required to request this leave will be posted as soon as possible.

Please note, if you are employed by ResourceMfg or Express Employment Professionals they are not covered by these changes because they have more than 500 employees. Please contact them directly if you have questions.

PRD and our employees really got into the spirit of Christmas this year resulting in Riley Hospital for Children receiving a donation of over $1,000 ! Our receptionist, Barb Morris, came up with the thoughtful idea. Employees were asked to make a Christmas Ornament to be displayed on the company Christmas tree. Employees were then asked to vote on their favorite at a cost of $0.25 per vote. The money raised would then be donated in the winner’s name to the charity of his choosing. The winner, Mat Ritchison, chose Riley Hospital for Children as his recipient charity. All of the ornaments were auctioned in a silent auction after the votes were tallied and that money was donated as well. PRD matched the voting funds equally bringing the total to $1,019 ! What a great example of holiday team work toward a wonderful cause. Riley Hospital has helped countless families and many of us within the PRD family have thankfully benefited. This is a part of our giving back to the amazing staff at Riley.
